No, not going to get too cheesy here...that's not how my family does things haha.
Most fathers (or grandfathers) have "their" firearm. It's been with them for years, it's their choice over anything modern or "better". You all know what I mean. To my father, it's his shotgun. I've tried getting him into Benellis, Citoris, several nice shotguns so I could get one for him as a gift. He's had quite a few over the years, but always sells them and goes back to "his".
Instead of trying to change the orbit of the Earth, I've finally wised up and just want to give him a true gift rather than a monetary facade of one.
So I plan on borrowing his shotgun without him knowing and getting a phrase/saying engraved on it somewhere. It won't look out of place, since while old and well used the gun has a gloss finish still and is not beat to hell. But I need ideas! Would prefer a funny, slightly sarcastic/smartass comment (it's just how our family is), something that will make him chuckle every time he picks it up. But I am open to more serious sniffling-inducing phrases as well.
No real guidelines, and not worried about length too much, just start firing off ideas please! I know that it would be better coming from my own thoughts as only I know the relationship me and my father have...but I am one of the least imaginative, non-creative, unoriginal people. Period. Case in point, I couldn't even think of a good analogy to show how unimaginative I am! haha So let's hear 'em!
